Chinese fall crows are very discerning about their survival environment. They usually travel in family groups and dive to hunt fish.

Chinese fall crows are alert and vigilant. They will raise their necks and withdraw or quickly flee to hidden places at the slightest disturbance. Therefore, the protection and monitoring of Chinese fall crows is extremely arduous.

Chinese fall crows are a species that has survived since the end of the third ice age, with an age of over one million years. Currently, there are less than 3,000 pairs worldwide, less than 1,000 pairs in China, making them a globally endangered species.

In recent years, the number of Chinese fall crows observed in Changbai Mountain has gradually increased. The excellent environment and dense forests of Changbai Mountain are ideal homes for them and have become one of the main breeding grounds for Chinese fall crows.
